Baked Sweet Potatoes

Total time: 60 minutes10 - 15 in the microwave These will, obviously, cook much faster in the microwave and I have seen in the U.S. that you can buy them micro-wave ready ....whatever that means. Sweet potatoes are incredibly good for us, easy and delicious! You can start in the micro for 8 minutes, then finish in the oven for 20 - 30 longer. Faster but still with a crisp skin.

Ingredients:

2 sweet potatoes

Butter, salt & pepper

Instructions:

Scrub potatoes.

With a sharp knife cut a shallow slit down the length of each potato.

Place on foil in the oven with slit side up. The foil is necessary unless you want to clean your oven - as the potatoes get close to being done the sugars start to ooze out - the slit stops them from bursting.

Bake at 400F (200C) for 60 minutes or until done - tender when pierced with a knife.

Serve with lots of butter, salt and pepper - eating the skins or not, as you choose.
